Brake System

Since the rims won't allow any brake pads, I had to use the old backpedal brake system.
It's pretty simple, I just screwed an aluminium plate on the old sprocket and attached a cable to it, controled by a brake lever.
When I pull the lever, the plate (the sproket) rotate backwards just like when you pedal backwards.
The spring allows the brake drum to come back in position after applying the brakes.
